Anyone heard of this or have experiences with it? My dad has a 2012 altima 2.5 cvt, 20k miles. He babies it, and never really "floors" it or revs hard at all. He recently had to have a rental car, and ended up with...you guessed it...a 2012 alitma 2.5. He noted that the rental car felt much more responsive and faster than his car.

Is it possible that since he never revved the CVT high, it "learned" to his habits which is why it reacts slower now rather than the CVT in the rental, which people probably messed with and drove hard/fast/floored it (taking it to higher RPMs)?

Also, if this is true, is there any way to "reset" this learning? Disconnect battery to reset ECU?
